Katie Holmes surgery expanse £30,000 for youthful look

Months ago, Katie Holmes said that he looked drawn and tired 30 years go.
But Katie Holmes silenced every opponent last week after pulling off a stunning transformation for the Japanese premiere of Tom Cruise's film Valkyrie.



Now it has emerged that for Mrs Cruise, beauty indeed comes at a price.
Costly makeover: Katie Holmes is said to have spent £30,000 to transform herself for the Japanese premiere of Valkyrie last week.




The mother-of-one is said to have splashed out £30,000 on the incredible makeover, which took more than two days to execute.

While holed up at the Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo ahead of the red carpet appearance, Katie was reportedly treated to intensive pampering sessions by a team of beauty experts.
It took six hours to have long hair extensions put in, which came with a £2,000 price tag, according to a U.S. publication.

She also apparently spent £7,000 in spa treatments, £20,000 in dental veneers and further £1,000 for premium make-up.




It certainly gave the actress back her sparkle, which seemed to have faded in recent times as the result of a rumoured Scientology detox.

The punishing purification diet, which consists of herbal drinks, is thought to be a prelude to having a second child.

For Katie, the pricey makeover was money well spent.

'She was happier than she's been in months,' a source told America's InTouch magazine.
And fans were impressed too, with one observer telling the publication: 'She didn't have a wrinkle on her face, her hair was perfect, and she had the body of a supermodel.

Miss Lancaster was not wearing a bra at the 1,000th performance of Dirty Dancing

At the 1,000th performance of Dirty Dancing, Penny Lancaster arrival here in bold, half sexy black dress. Black dress is so transparent but not show any under garment of Penny. But while flashlight put on her it clear she doesn’t wear her under garment and looking so dam in the pose It's hard to imagine what Penny Lancaster was thinking when she chosen her outfit last night.


The hanging shawl-type knitted dress was hardly a suitable choice for Rod Stewart's wife, who usually chooses clinging clothes which show off her fabulous figure.

With her long legs and slim body, the model could have just about carried off the dress - if it weren't for the flashlights. Under their bright glare, the woollen fabric turned transparent - exposing the fact that Miss Lancaster was not wearing a bra.


It was as an underwear model for Ultimo that she made her name, although she was later replaced by her husband's ex-wife Rachel Hunter.
Perhaps Stewart has been saving his pennies recently by encouraging his fourth wife not to splash out on new undergarments.



The Scottish rocker was recently labelled 'cheap' by his son Sean during a televised U.S. court case.

However, with Stewart's estimated £70million fortune, it seems unlikely that Miss Lancaster would have to hold back her spending.

Miss March teen-time comedies-sexual crassness and sexist button

Zach Cregger, Trevor Moore, and Raquel Alessi star in a film written and directed by Cregger and Moore.


Miss March takes its rightful place in the store, ignoble American parade of teenagers time comedies as profane and morally to do a push-me-pull-you dance.Finally, as in the films marked with the name "Apatow," the sexual crassness and sexist button-pushing gives way to the realization moralizing about the greater good, and that is "good" girl is a higher goal than to get a girl "in a more general, the best sex-win paradigm. The formula gives and gives, and keeps to a surprisingly conservative agenda, despite the appearance of some rebel creed on the surface.

A presentation of this model is that the comedy engine misfires so regularly that we have a tendency to pull out of the brazen spirit of things and instead looks at it with compassion and professional interest: here, after all, is a possible candidate for the year 's most unfunny comedy.

It's almost remarkable when a scene right in the movie is le-loud funny. Ironically, the scene in question is an almost sexual encounter with a woman in a bed, a bug-eyed young man, a trip by bus, and a Bump in the road.

“I Told You So” performed American Idol winner Carrie Underwood and Randy Travis Duet

Grand Ole Opry inductee and American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood performed a duet with country music legend, Randy Travis and returned during last night’s success result show. Carrie Underwood's American Idol crossing gets retraced; she really owes it all to Simon, he totally pushed for her in season four and made her go from a farm girl to country's hottest star.



Carrie Underwood comes out in a attractive red dress with a little bow or something on it and a bow in her hair, singing a duet with Randy Travis.

Randy says he had enjoyable being a adviser; big smile. First time they've sung this duet together live Ryan says, "I Told You So."

Man, she really has quite a voice; just the right twangs, very sincere, every word enunciated, and soars amazingly on the chorus. Randy's sitting next to her on a stool playing the guitar; audience is totally quiet, listening. He's watching her carefully as he strums along, a total pro.

He comes in on the second part; gets a 10-second solo before she harmonizes. He's got such a gentle, easy voice; really like it. This is definitely one of the best performances we've seen on the show; nothing like some of the embarrassments of past seasons with over-the-hill singers....

Julian Tavarez:Late Night Playboy Signs with Washington Nationals

Julian Tavarez is baseball player. After six months on the shelf, veteran pitcher Julian Tavarez signed a minor-League contract with the Washington Nationals last week. When asked about his decision, he gave this totally awesome moves:

"Why did I sign with the Nationals? When you go to a club at four in the morning, and just waiting, waiting, a 600-pounds look like J. Lo. And for me, this is Jennifer Lopez here. There are four in the morning. For much to drink. So Nationals: Jennifer Lopez to me. "

Julian Tavarez signed a minor-League contract with the Washington Nationals,

Now Julian, I'm trying to think of a way to put this delicately, and it is not one. So let me get right to the heart of it: Have you seen your face? You are not attractive. Maybe not on the Ezekial Astacio level, but you are ugly wide League. You do not take home a J. Lo unless there are four in the morning, and she is just there waiting, waiting, and she had too much to drink. Are you picking up what I do down here, boss?

So here is what we've found: You are ugly, angry, marginally talented, and very willing to offend the team that drew you from the garbage heap. It is not a resume that gets you into the Hall of Fame, Julian, but you are a solid candidate for the JSF Tool.
